Yanks deny Bosox fan buried shirt in concrete

The New York Yankees today denied a New York Post report that a Boston fan buried a Red Sox T-shirt in the $1.3 billion new stadium's concrete.

"We noticed that the NY Post wrote a fun and interesting story about a T-shirt today - but it never happened," Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion said in a statement today. "Yankee fans know that burying something in concrete in the basement is never a good thing. Memo to the Post: You're 10 days late for April Fool's Day."

The Post reported that the Boston fan was part of the concrete crew at Yankee Stadium covertly buried a the T-shirt under what will become the visiting team's locker room to jinx the Yanks, two construction workers said, according to the report in the New York Post.

"In August, a Red Sox T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse. It's the curse of the Yankees," one worker told the newspaper. "Nobody knows about it. It's in the floors, it's buried." The Post said it withheld the workers' identities because they are not authorized to speak to media.
